I finally got a chance to try out my new oil pastels by entering the Daily Paint Works "Copper Challenge." I decided to do a small still life with a small copper watering can. I almost gave up--oil pastels are difficult enough, but the copper was even harder. But I persisted and I think the can came out looking like copper. Not sure about the perspective and flower though.

About Me - Melanie Dacko Cooper

Objective

I am starting this blog as a record for me and my family and as a challenge to myself--to keep painting.

I will try to remember any art work that I did that I sold or gave away and possible location and post photos if I have them.

The challenge part of this blog for me will be to compare what I did when I was quite a bit younger to what I can do now. Have I gotten any better? I think I am better at some things, but may have also lost some skills. Please feel free to comment.
